Abstract: Tyramine (4-[2-aminoethyl]phenol) belongs to the trace amines, a family of endogenously synthesized compounds present in the body at nanomolar concentrations. The objective of this work is to determine the acidity and basicity constants of tyramine in the ground and excited states, with the aim of evaluating its behavior in different environments. First, the acidity constant (Ka) in the ground state was determined by varying the percentage of acidic and basic....
